Overview

The four levels of IPMA® certification

The four-level IPMA® certification system ranges from proof of sound project management knowledge to the strategic leadership of highly complex projects, programmes or portfolios. Levels B and A are available for programme and portfolio management. Requirements and procedure are set by the responsible national certification body.

Certification is evidence-based: at each level you provide verifiable evidence in line with the required level of competence. Its type and scope depend on the level and on the procedure of your certification body.

  • Level D

    Sound knowledge of project management, the entry point to the four-level system.

  • Level C

    Responsible leadership of projects of medium complexity.

  • Level B

    Responsible leadership of complex projects, programmes or portfolios – depending on the chosen certification domain.

  • Level A

    Strategic leadership of highly complex projects, programmes or portfolios – depending on the chosen certification domain.
